Lake ride

Well today Chester and Seraphina have been total stars. As it was a sunny bank holiday, Ali & I
went out for the day, we rode all the way from here to the lake, which is 14kms
each way. We have been cantering all over the place, Ches has pretty much got the
hang of going straight into canter from a walk, not even a hint of a buck
(presumably because it's too much like hard work with me on board), not too much
pulling, the only annoying thing is his constant quest to eat so as I'm
encouraging him to stretch forward and down he always tries to get a sneaky
mouthful of grass...

Only one spook,at a dog that
sneaked up on us behind a hedge, but the others spooked at it too.....

We
collected Jane & Ocarina on the way and spent the rest of the time failing
to keep up with her, when she walks, ours have to trot and when she trots, we
canter!!

Ches was fascinated by the donkeys near the lake, he wanted to
go and investigate them but the ran away from him!

Mike met us with a picnic, and we went for a play in the water with the horses...
